obligatory 1st post - min post requirements?

[btcsuser12]

Hello everyone -

Gotta make a post here, so thought I'd ask a question I was wondering about:  are there different minimum post requirements for submitting new topics in the different sections on this board?  I need to post in a service thread and was wondering how many useful questions/comments I could muster to meet this quota?  Thanks

Hi welcome to the forum. I am not aware of any minimum post requirement. The main requirement that I know of is the amount of time you invest in this forum. As far as I know, 4 hours is a good minimum, along good and useful posts and comments. It all leads to your profile's activity value (There is formula for it.. I might be wrong about it, but I think it was... activity = min(number of two weeks * 14, number of posts)). The higher the activity number you have, the less restrictions you get....

Thanks for the reply, I realize I could just read past posts on this stuff but want to post as much as possible, don't hate the noob.  I am certainly intrigued by this shadowy corner of cyber-economics and appreciate the need for the rules & restrictions, but can't help feeling like a cult member desperate to prove his/her loyalty...At the very least, a super geeky frat pledge

You need to have 4 hours of activity

You can do it in 4 hours.
